Body

Alice Card is a Visa commercial credit card and works at qualifying parking apps and merchants that accept Visa. Qualified parking under IRC §132(f) covers garages, lots, meters, and parking apps near work or near a transit stop the employee uses to commute. The 2026 monthly limit is $340.

Parking apps Alice Card commonly works with

ParkMobile, SpotHero, PayByPhone, Premium Parking, Passport, Way.com, ParkWhiz, MeterUp, AceParking, LAZ Parking apps. App acceptance depends on the app's payment processor accepting Visa commercial cards. Most do.

How the swipe works

When you pay for parking through an app or at a garage that accepts Visa, the merchant transmits a category code. Alice's platform recognizes qualifying parking merchant codes and pulls from the employee's parking bucket up to the monthly limit. If a transaction is over the monthly cap, the platform handles it according to your plan rules.

Where it may not work

Apps that only accept ACH/bank transfers (rare), apps tied to non-commute use (event parking apps for stadiums, valet apps for restaurants, residential parking apps), and any parking outside the qualifying §132(f) definition (residence, recreation, non-commute).

Troubleshooting
